found my old art

(written 09:08 Thursday 28 November 2019 JST)

I found my old art in a box in my closet. I knew it was there, but I had forgotten what size some of the pieces where. (many of them had become larger in my memory and were so small when I pulled them out of the box!)

Well, what is "old" exactly?

I found some pieces that are labeled with http://robnugen.com/art:

Inner Space Set, with 6 pieces. They are all 12cm by 13.6cm. (4.7 x 5.3 inches)

I am sure I have scanned them before, but if I cannot find the pictures quickly at https://art.robnugen.com/art, I will scan them again now.

Ah yes, Inner Space Set of Six - 11 March 2009 and they have a shortlink on art.robnugen.com https://art.robnugen.com/iss09

This is the first set I have pulled out of a box in my closet; I do not know what other URLs I will find that do not match the current convention of art.robnugen.com/art (where the second art is specific to the piece(s)). Therefore I am not yet ready to write their latest URL on the back. (10+ years after they were finished) At this point, I think I will write it only if their future new owner wants it written.

And I just realized a good way to validate editors on the wiki. If they send me a photo of the date and the image and their preferred username, I can create the username for them. I am thinking I should require minimum length passwords... I just want to make sure minimum garbage ends up on the wiki.

I scanned the backs of Inner Space Set, and created a permalink for a piece I called Old School.

Mohammed asked me for an explantion of Inner Space Set, and I created the story about electron microscope at the top of the page.

good lessons in toshiba

Today Naoko worked on the English version of her liquid nitrogen science show. Cool to see the double-walled beaker that is topologically a sphere with a beaker shape, and vacuum inside to keep heat from entering readily.

Talked to Liliko and gave her a marble (she chose light blue) in honor of her hard work and opportunity to go to OZ in January.

Today I got to meet Takano, who asked for my support in helping one of the guides improve.

i should make a habit of drawing more often

I got kinda overwhelmed with all the scanning and archiving part which I imagine is part of why I put it all in the closet. The scanning and archiving will become a lot more useful when people know each page has its own permalink!

Just the little bit of drawing I did yesterday reminds me of how much I enjoy it, so I hereby consider encouraging myself to engage in the creation of hand-drawn art on a regular basis.

In other news, I set up a one-touch scan on my scanner which posts images on my server.

last lesson in akihabara

Today is the last lesson for me at GG in Akihabara. I will miss the class. I am grateful for Mayumi's continued enjoyment of MT3.
